Why aren't we much more concerned that the federal government, in all its wisdom, has once again reached out with over-sweeping authority and damaged a business all in the name of its self-proclaimed health measures to help keep us healthy?
The problem is not that some group will or will not use this service more than the other, it is that the government decided to back-stab this industry all in the so-called name of health.

This is just one more example of a government gone crazy with power. They want all these social programs so they are inventing more ways to tax us. Funny, they talk about caring about the poor, and the working class but all they do is find ways to make it harder to succeed and prosper.
Our government is sick with power and our money.
